We take great pride in our fireplaces. Every stone or marble chimneypiece that we make has a Chesney’s plaque set into the reverse of the mantel. This is our hallmark. If you don’t see the plaque it isn’t one of our fireplaces.
an introduction to Chesney’s For many years we have restored antique fireplaces at our workshops in London. Conserving and reviving an 18th century marble chimneypiece is a painstaking exercise which requires an extraordinary level of skill, expertise and patience. There can be no compromises in the process, and it is this rigorous approach which has guided the development of our entire range of designs over the years, and which has come to set a Chesney’s fireplace apart from all others. A fireplace should be the primary focus of any room, and therefore we ensure that every one of our fireplaces embodies the finest craftsmanship and integrity of design. This new brochure is our most comprehensive to date. We have added a number of new designs to our established historical and contemporary collections, and we continue to showcase the talents of leading contemporary designers such as Barbara Hulanicki and Jasper Conran. We have also introduced a wide range of exciting new products including a collection of architectural stone fire surrounds and a range of hand forged steel andirons and fire baskets. The brochure also features a range of stunning designs by Sir John Soane, which Chesney’s has been exclusively licensed to manufacture by the world famous Sir John Soane Museum in central London. I hope that you will find plenty to enjoy.

What makes a Chesney’s fireplace different
A Chesney’s fireplace should be the best there is That was our aim when we founded the company 25 years ago and it remains the same today. In setting out to achieve this we remain passionately committed to our key values.
Design
Craftsmanship
Materials
Innovation
Integrity of design is intrinsic to every Chesney’s fireplace. Our period fireplaces are exact copies of antique originals recognised by conservation bodies worldwide for their authenticity.
Outstanding craftsmanship means using traditional techniques in our manufacturing whether hand carving a marble chimneypiece or forging steel on a blacksmith’s anvil. These are labour intensive and highly skilled processes for which there is no substitute.
We consistently search for the finest materials, visiting quarries throughout Europe and Asia. We are forever looking to add to the range, and quality of materials that we offer, and to find original and inventive ways of using these new materials.
Our aim is always to innovate. We continually work on new design concepts and ways to refine our existing products. This brochure introduces many new products, including additions to both our period and contemporary ranges as well as our first ‘museum’ collection.
Our contemporary fireplaces are the handiwork of leading contemporary designers to reflect current trends in interior decoration.

Bespoke service We can make a fireplace of any design, be it a reproduction of a valuable antique or in the most contemporary style. We can produce a fireplace in any material, working from photographs, magazine cuttings, sketches or drawings.
The successful production of a bespoke fire surround relies on a wealth of specialist skills: designer, draughtsman, clay modeller, architectural historian and finally, mason and carver. Our long established and experienced bespoke department harnesses all these skills. The range of projects that we undertake is hugely varied with an increasing number of clients wishing to commission individual pieces. This is now the fastest growing area of our business. Shown right, a chimneypiece in statuary marble based on the Karnak Temple, Egypt, incorporating classical elements of English 18th century design.

Case study
An Irish Country House When London based interior decorator Susie Beart was asked to decorate an 18th century Irish country house she came to Chesney’s for the chimneypieces. By commissioning bespoke copies she was able to specify chimneypieces of exactly the scale and style that the rooms demanded. They were carved in statuary marble and incorporated coloured marbles traditionally found in fireplaces of the period. All were given a light antique finish in Chesney’s London workshops prior to installation.
“Using Chesney’s bespoke service gave us a flexibility and choice that simply wouldn’t have been available had we used antiques. The chimneypieces were a great success and enhanced the overall look of the design scheme.” Susie Beart Interior decorator

A London Town House When Peter Wood & Partners, a long established, London based architectural practice, were retained to remodel an early 19th century listed town house in Belgravia, they came to Chesney’s for all the chimneypieces. Architect Stephen Wood and his clients were able to consult Chesney’s uniquely extensive archive of appropriate period chimneypiece designs and select a number of late 18th and early 19th century examples for Chesney’s to produce. Following completion of the project Stephen Wood commented,
“I have always found working with Chesney’s a rewarding and straightforward experience. In this case they were able to advise authoritatively on the historical considerations governing the choice of chimneypieces, and delivered and installed a number of beautifully crafted marble chimneypieces.”

Chesney’s fireplaces
Chesney’s offer a comprehensive service for the design and manufacture of architectural stone and marble work. The technical skills that the Company has acquired over the past 25 years in developing its unique range of hand carved fireplaces have also enabled it to undertake a wide variety of architectural projects that require execution of even the most challenging stone work.
Chesney’s ability to manage the stonework element of a project is not limited to technical expertise in the fields of masonry and carving but also includes the key elements of design, material selection and procurement, services which are all delivered through a single point of responsibility. In addition to offering all the elements of stone work required for external residential projects, Chesney’s can boast a diverse portfolio of interior commissions
ranging from the supply of a finely carved collection of ecclesiastical objects for a Cathedral in California to the design and manufacture of a series of cantilevered stone staircases. The unique skill set and experience that Chesney’s offers is nowhere better seen than in its acknowledged expertise in the architectural art form of the cantilevered staircase. Inspired by Palladio’s designs in Italy in the 16th century and introduced to
English architecture by Inigo Jones, the cantilevered staircase was widely used for over 200 years but during the past century has rarely been seen in new buildings. Using the cantilevered form of staircase allows the opportunity to transform a functional item into a graceful and visually stunning feature that is central to the heart of a building.
“ They succeed very well because they have the light from above, and those that are at the top of the stairs see all those that begin to ascend and are likewise seen by them.” Palladio

Case study
Hampshire, UK When Chesney’s were approached to design and manufacture a limestone cantilevered staircase for the entrance hall of a new English country house, the brief was to create a focal point that was both graceful and impressive. We suggested a smooth soffit tread design which would lend itself well to a plain material such as limestone and would create a beautiful continuous curve to the underside of the staircase that could be appreciated from the Entrance Hall below.
“Chesney’s successfully designed and delivered an architectural feature that sets a benchmark for the entire property” Private client
A simple geometric oval comprising some 200 individual pieces of stone and marble provided a unique centrepiece to the matching limestone flooring and the same material was used for a series of classical stone door frames which provide an elegant entry to the Dining and Drawing rooms beyond. A Portuguese limestone was used throughout with St Augustine marble as the accent marble for the design to the floor and the flagstones.
Case study
Rhode Island, USA Renowned US Architects Madison Spencer commissioned Chesney’s to design a 21 step cantilevered staircase for a residential property in Rhode Island. The material selected in Italy for the project was a lightly veined Carrara marble and it was important that the design for the staircase showed the material to its best effect. With this in mind we recommended sweeping winders with an ogee tread design and a solid apron of marble to the entire edge of the galleried landing that would best show the marble in all its natural beauty.
“ Our clients request for an impressive classical staircase that would be used for generations to come was successfully designed and delivered by Chesney’s” Madison Spencer Architects

“ The Georgian Group is very pleased to be working with Chesney’s on this project. The Fitzroy is a handsome chimneypiece, and in keeping with the rest of Chesney’s Georgian collection, offers the opportunity to own a replica classical chimneypiece with historically accurate detail.” The Georgian Group
The Fitzroy The Fitzroy chimneypiece was selected by The Georgian Group to replace a pair of chimneypieces lost from its headquarters in Fitzroy Square in central London. The Georgian Group is the national charity dedicated to the preservation of Georgian buildings and gardens throughout Britain. Every year the Group helps save many important buildings and is instrumental in preserving Britain’s unique architectural heritage. Sales of every Fitzroy chimneypiece will produce valuable revenue for the Group. As with so many charitable bodies, it relies heavily on public support and it is hoped that sales of this chimneypiece will contribute substantially to the Group’s funding requirements.

The Soane Collection A collection of exact replicas of designs for chimneypieces from the archives of Sir John Soane’s Museum under exclusive licence.
The first modern English architect, Sir John Soane was one of the most influential and original of all English architects. Working in London in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, he produced designs for both private residences and institutions, most notably The Bank of England and elements of the Prime Minister’s residence in Downing Street.
Soane’s work was characterised by the simplification and stylisation of classical form and detail. He produced designs of quite extraordinary modernity which even today serve as an inspiration to contemporary architects. Soane’s unique ability to combine classicism and modernity is seen no better than in his designs for chimneypieces. The simplicity and refinement of detail that he uses will suit both contemporary and traditional interiors alike. Soane’s greatest legacy was the museum he created at Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London, which houses innumerable classical artefacts, drawings and works of art and is considered by many to be the finest historic ‘house’ museum in the world.
Online archive Soane’s archive of chimneypiece drawings numbers nearly 200 in total. These can be viewed on a website specially created for this purpose at: www.chesneys.co.uk/products/fireplaces/soane-archive Chesney’s is able to reproduce any design contained in this archive to order.

The Lutyens Collection These chimneypieces by Sir Edwin Lutyens have been carefully chosen to show his unique ability to translate the traditional architectural vocabulary into new forms that successfully combine classicism and modernity.
Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) is widely regarded as one of the greatest British architects. The scope of his work was enormous, encompassing a wide variety of styles and including private residences, garden landscapes, commercial buildings and war memorials. After a brief period at the South Kensington School of Art, (now the Royal College of Art) Lutyens launched his career at the precociously early age of 19 with his first country house, built in his native county of Surrey. Starting with designs strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, he moved on seamlessly to his own version of High Classicism, described by Lutyens himself as his “Wrenaissance”. Lutyens’ style was never derivative and always bore the mark of his own unique touch. His genius lay in his ability imaginatively to adapt traditional architectural styles. Throughout his career he had the confidence continually to change direction and consequently the body of his work reveals a unique and fascinating degree of eclecticism.
Sir Edwin Lutyens
He was a perfectionist and obsessed with detail. Never was any element of one of his buildings left to a colleague. He would find time to design the minutiae of every interior from the fittings and furnishings to the child’s clock on a nursery mantelpiece. This same degree of attention was given to his chimneypieces and the legacy of his designs for these, as varied in scale and design as his buildings themselves, represents an important body of work in its own right. Lutyens’ chimneypiece designs have a timeless quality deriving from their robust, unfussy detailing and well proportioned architectural form and it is this quality that renders them so suitable for both period and contemporary interiors. Chesney’s is proud to reproduce a collection of some of Lutyens’ finest designs for chimneypieces with the blessing of the Lutyens family and of the Lutyens Trust in a co-operative endeavour that is the first of its type.
‘…tradition to me consists in our
inherited sense of structural fitness, the evolution of rhythmic form by a synthesis of needs and materials…’

The Chesney’s Directory presents a unique opportunity
to specify a chimneypiece in the traditional manner. By offering a wide range of architectural designs and a wealth of carved detail that can be executed in a selection of authentic materials, The Directory combines all the elements that are required to create a truly bespoke fire surround.
The Directory contains architectural drawings or ‘patterns’ for some of the most elegant and popular chimneypiece designs of the 18th and 19th centuries. The ‘anatomy’ of each design is clearly labelled to enable the specifier to consult the appropriate section of The Directory and select the carved detail for each component and the material in which it is to be carved.
Every carved component offered in The Directory has been copied from an original chimneypiece that has at some time been part of Chesney’s stock. This technique guarantees total authenticity of detail, as the carver is not being asked to interpret an illustration but rather to exactly replicate the original form. Every carving is entirely hand produced without the use of any copying machinery, and polished and waxed to an antique finish.
The Directory is a unique resource and is rapidly becoming the standard manual for anyone seeking to recreate an authentic and architecturally correct period chimneypiece that bears the hallmark of personal choice. The programme is available in interactive form online on the Chesney’s website and as a traditional printed manual.

The Electric Fire Collection
Fire Baskets In many situations it is impractical to install a working fire using solid fuel or gas. Every living room should have a fireplace at its heart and in many modern buildings and period conversions achieving this can be a challenge. Chesney's can provide an effective, attractive and realistic solution with its new range of electric fires. These fires do not require a chimney, flue or pipe work and there are no regulatory or planning issues in relation to their use. Installation is easy with the fire plugging into a 13 amp socket.
A selection of fire baskets from the Chesney's Collection including the ever popular Soho fire basket and Spherical steel fire dogs, shown right, are now available with the Opti-myst log effect electric fire. Shown here with the Devonshire fireplace in limestone, Modern steel slips and black slate hearth. The electric fires are an aesthetic effect only and do not provide heat.

Using technology developed by Glen Dimplex, selected fire baskets from the Chesney's range are now available with the Opti-myst® log effect electric fire. The Opti-myst effect is achieved using ultrasonic technology to create a fine mist that is illuminated to produce unbelievably realistic flames and smoke. Combined with authentic looking logs and a glowing ash bed, the result is an electric fire that exceeds all expectations for realism.
The realistic flame effect and light cast by the Opti-myst Electric Fire is seen here in this early evening shot. Shown here with the La Rochelle marble fireplace, Byron fire basket for dogs, Burton andirons and black slate hearth. Opti-myst Electric Fires can be used with Chesney's Soho, Osborne, Fibonacci and Byron fire baskets. They are an aesthetic effect only and do not provide heat.

The Alchemy Range of Gas Fires At the heart of every fireplace is the fire itself, but in today’s busy world many people simply don’t have the time to build and tend a real fire. A Chesney’s Alchemy gas coal or log effect fire can provide the answer, offering immediate enjoyment of the beauty and warmth of a real fire at the flick of a switch.

Safety
In an era of soaring energy prices Chesney’s is committed to developing products that deliver the highest levels of efficiency with the minimum running costs.
Chesney’s is engaged in a year round research and development programme at our in-house laboratory facility. Our engineers work with our designers to combine the latest technology with a design aesthetic that results in products that are unique in their marriage of functionality and appearance.
Our aim is to create a range of fires that look as much as possible like the real thing.
With any gas appliance, safety is of paramount importance.
Our open fronted gas effect fires are an attractive and realistic recreation of a real fire rather than a primary heat source but our glass fronted fires deliver outstanding performance, achieving levels of up to 80% efficiency in independent testing. This allows an expensive energy source to be harnessed and utilised in a highly economical manner.
Whilst high tech features such as thermostatic room temperature control and remote adjustment of flame height and heat output are available, no compromise is made in relation to the beautiful appearance of the fire.
Following endless experiments we have created flame patterns that are both generous and realistic, emulating the flame patterns of a real fire with individually hand painted logs that produce a deep life-like glow. Whether in a traditional fire basket or behind glass, an Alchemy fire is almost indistinguishable from a natural fire.
A separate full colour brochure is available illustrating the Alchemy Gas Fire Collection.
The Alchemy range has been tested and certified by the UK’s leading independent test laboratory and our rigorous quality control systems ensure that all our appliances conform to British Safety Standards.

A collection of forged steel andirons and fire baskets
We have selected this medium for our new range of andirons and fire baskets to create a beautiful collection of designs that will complement any fireplace.
Undoubtedly the oldest method of forging known to man is smith forging. Steel is heated in a coal forge to 2,000°F and then worked and shaped over an anvil using hammers and a selection of simple hand tools. At the hands of a skilled smith the heated steel moves quickly, almost organically, moulded into shape by a succession of rhythmic hammer blows.

Chesney’s fireplaces
Guide to dimensions and materials The diagram below identifies the key dimensions common to most fireplaces. Throughout this brochure these are the dimensions that will be given for every design. All fireplaces in this brochure can be made to bespoke sizes on request. SHELF DEPTH SHELF LENGTH
OPENING HEIGHT
OVERALL HEIGHT
OPENING WIDTH
HEIGHT OF FOOTBLOCK
DEPTH OF JAMB OVERALL WIDTH Chesney’s products are handmade and therefore subject to a tolerance of +/- 5mm on stated dimensions.
Although Chesney’s will work in any material, the core collections are carved from the following range of marbles and stones sourced from particular regions and quarries.
Statuary marble A highly prized dense white marble ideally suited for fine sculptural work quarried in the Hebei mountains south of Beijing.
White marble An elegant white marble suitable for fine carving from quarries in Greece.
Carrara marble A grey marble with grey veining extracted from the Polvaccio or Michelangelo quarries in Carrara in Northern Italy. This marble has been used in countless classical buildings and monuments.
Limestone A tough limestone with a smooth creamy appearance quarried in the mountains of Limya in Turkey and Porto Mos in Portugal.
Bianco Avorio A roughly textured limestone with attractive fossil displays quarried near Florence in Northern Italy.
Emperador Quarried in the province of Valencia, Spain, this marble has finely streaked elements of variable colour ranging from brown to beige, set in a beige cement.
English Bathstone Quarried in the west of England since Roman times, our Bathstone is found near Corsham in Wiltshire and is of a mellow rough appearance.
The stone samples shown are indicative and it is important to note limestone and marble are natural materials that have naturally occurring fossils, markings and veining. The individual sections can also vary in shade, this is part of their character and appeal.
